I Am more looking at the idea that physics and string theory model currently suggets there is 10 or 11 dimensions, whichever one you buy into. And we have no clue what happens in those upper dimensions (past 4 if you consider time to be one) if they exist. I could be open to a scientific explanation that the answer to an afterlife, may be held there. There is a lot of strange phenomena and brain activity anomalies that have been observed in people's brains at the moment of death that may be more than just a spike in brain activity.
Meh, who knows. Every time I lose someone close to me, I have trouble accepting they are just.... gone. And always hope there is that remote chance they are still sentient in some way. I guess I can kiss off the idea of sleep tonight... Lol

It's wishful thinking if you're hoping scientists find heaven in an alternate dimension.
That being said, special relativity should provide something you would likely find interesting, and is more grounded in science. Using SR, you find time doesn't exist in the way we think of it; it doesn't flow. Instead, it's a "block," encompassing all of time, from the beginning to the end, if such things exist. All moments of our "past," while seeming to be the past to us, are actually just frames, to put it simply, in this block of spacetime. So while you might view that fun memory of your friend, or whoever, that died as being in the past, forever lost to time, it is actually still existent, and you and your buddy will be reliving it forever, just as you would have been since the beginning of the universe.
